Hollywood celebrities took to social media Tuesday evening ready to celebrate what initially looked to be a victory for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, who led Republican Donald Trump in most polls headed into Election Day — but were left to vent their frustration and horror when Trump pulled off an historic upset.
Many of Clinton’s top celebrity supporters — including some who had hit the trail alongside her during her campaign’s closing stretch, like Katy Perry and Lady Gaga — expressed their shock on Twitter Tuesday night as Trump appeared headed for victory.
Below is a sampling of some of Hollywood’s reaction to Trump’s win. Some of the tweets contain some salty language.
THE REVOLUTION IS COMING.

Is it possible that this country is more sexist than racist? May God help us all.

This is an embarrassing night for America. We've let a hatemonger lead our great nation. We've let a bully set our course. I'm devastated.
